Hello~

💎your beauty universe! This is Dr. Seo Seung-jo, head director of UBER Plastic Surgery :)💎

One of the materials needed for rhinoplasty is rib cartilage.

Because rib cartilage provides an ample amount and is sturdy, it is used in

surgeries requiring a support structure, revision surgeries, and for contracted noses.

​

For those considering rib cartilage, many wonder about the differences

between autologous rib cartilage and donated rib cartilage.

​

Today, let's find out about the differences between donated rib cartilage and autologous rib cartilage.

​

What are the differences between donated rib cartilage and autologous rib cartilage?

Because donated rib cartilage comes from another person, to prevent an immune response in the recipient,

the cellular components are removed.

Due to this process, while donated rib cartilage is hard, in the event of inflammation

or excessive pressure, it can break or be absorbed.

​

Today, I briefly explained the differences between donated and autologous rib cartilage.

It is best to decide on the surgical method and materials through various examinations and

consultation with a specialist tailored to the condition of your nose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is costal cartilage used in rhinoplasty?

Yes, costal cartilage is used because it is abundant and firm. Thanks to these characteristics, it is very effectively used in surgeries that require strong support, revision rhinoplasty, and correction of contracted noses.

What is donated costal cartilage made of?

Donated costal cartilage is made from another person's cartilage. It undergoes a special processing procedure to remove all cellular components so that it does not cause an immune reaction in the recipient, and is then used in surgery.

Are there any disadvantages or side effects of donated costal cartilage?

Yes, it can be vulnerable to inflammation or excessive pressure. Donated costal cartilage, although firm due to the process of removing cellular components, can break or be absorbed if inflammation occurs in the surgical site or strong pressure is applied.

How is it best to choose rhinoplasty materials?

It is best to decide through consultation with a specialist. Since each individual's nose condition is different, various precise examinations should be conducted before surgery to select the surgical method and materials that are best suited for your nose.
